Greetings everyone! I am thrilled to serve as the
President of this great museum and cultural center. I
am touched by the confidence of our Board of Directors
who elected me to this prestigious position and for the
support they have shown me. Please know that the Board
and I will be working diligently to continue creating a
world class museum and cultural center. To do this we
want your input and involvement.
It has been said that in order for a people to move
forward they must always remember their past. That is
why each move we make in the restoration of the building
is done with the understanding that the renovations will
preserve the rich heritage of the students and staff who
walked the halls of the Phoenix Union Colored High
School on Grant Street from 1926 to 1954. We add to
their efforts the desire of the Monarch graduates and
friends to create a museum full of the history, art and
culture of the African Diaspora worldwide.
You can help by taking out a membership for $30.00, $25.00
if you are a Monarch, or purchasing a brick to help with
our building campaign. Bricks have a purchase price from
$100.00 to $1,000.00. But you do not have to stop there; you
can donate equipment, office supplies, paint, art,
exhibit supplies, office supplies or just volunteer.
What ever your level of participation, we look forward
to seeing you at the George Washington Carver Museum and
Cultural Center.
